SAN FRANCISCO -- September 12, 2013
Cathay Pacific is welcoming applications for the sixth iteration of the
successful “I Can Fly” San Francisco program, which invites high schoolers
with a true passion for travel and aviation on a unique educational adventure.
Interested eleventh- and twelfth-grade high school students may submit
applications online at http://us.cathaypacific.com/icanfly from now until
September 30, 2013.
The “I Can Fly” San Francisco 2013 program will run from October through
December and gives high school students a comprehensive and hands-on look at
the airline industry.
Guided entirely by dedicated Cathay Pacific staff volunteers, the eight-week
academy covers a range of aviation topics and allows a group of classmates to
learn various aspects from flight operations to inflight services and
engineering. These real-world settings have shown to provide invaluable
perspective for young students who are preparing to make choices in
post-secondary education and their careers.
The “I Can Fly” program was launched in 2003 at Cathay Pacific’s Hong Kong
headquarters and due to its success, brought to the US for the first time in
2009.
The program runs weekly and operates after school hours at San Francisco
International Airport, its vicinity or downtown San Francisco. For further
